Who we are - Meet our principle officers

James Waight - Chair



Chair is the most demanding job. You may face an Army delegation one minute, sifting through government environment regulations next and then listening to individual Members' issues.
James is an energetic, well informed member of the Waight family who have been on SPTA since before the Army arrived.
He is a top rate beef farmer and you don't need to take our word for it! He was 2020 Beef Farmer of the Year.

Steve Bartlett - Secretary

Our Secretary is a special link role.The National Farmers Union (NFU) was instrumental in setting up DELTA feeling that a specialist representation  body was needed with such a unique landlord.
Steve is a full time NFU officer and liaises with DELTA bringing the might of the NFU to our assistance where/if necessary.

Pete Rice - Treasurer

The vital role of counting in the Member's dues, writing up the books, managing the bank and presenting Annual Accounts invariably goes unsung. Pete has been Treasurer since the start of DELTA performing a meticulous job. 
He is also tech-savvy and looks after our website and email platforms.
